After terrorists sent at least 20 people to the hospital Saturday night after attacking pedestrians on London Bridge with a van and stabbing diners nearby, plenty of people were playing “gotcha” on social media, calling out those who jumped to conclusions about the ideology of the attackers.
Did Bette Midler pass the test or not? She didn’t specifically exclude Islamic extremists from her tweet, but rather declared all men and religions worthless.
More sorrow and grief at the hands of madmen in London. Men and religion are worthless.

And meanwhile we'll resort to cheap shot misandry to promote our virtue, shall we?

Liberals hate when people generalize large groups of people. https://t.co/zq02Ujbywg

Yeah, but who’s going to criticize Bette Midler for calling out men? They’re just the worst, as has been proved time and time again every time they try to take away women’s access to health care and pay them less money for the same work.
But religion? Americans — and their elected leaders — have gone out of their way in recent years to play up the contributions of all beliefs to the country that America is today. Maybe Midler meant it’s worthless when you put men and religion together … yeah, that must be it.
Yea, just random madmen with a mystery motivation. Do everyone a favor and shut the f*** up.

Bette still can't bring herself to say Muslim terrorist. She says "madmen" and "men & religion are worthless" what the hell ever that means

You are disgusting. As has become the entire "progressive" liberal movement. It is devolving into racist, sexist, misanthropes.

The women were unavailable to help, they were arranging "scraping procedures" for their daughters. Ask, Linda Sarsour.

That's rather harsh. I'm a loving, caring man with faith in a peace seeking God. These people are lost in hatred.

I don't "think" I deserved that. I'm a man and I too have sorrow for the victims. How about "hateful" people are worthless. Just saying.

Thanks for “mansplaining” the situation to Ms. Midler — it’s like you men have an opinion on everything.
Exclude my husband and grandsons thank you very much. Sorry the men in your life suck.

So you hate men and religious people including Jews I suppose. Good to know. I will avoid your work from now on.

What about the policeMEN that ran to the rescue? Many more of them.

She’ll probably have to think that one over a bit; news reports suggest some of them were armed with guns, which is problematic.
So you ever think to yourself "Bette, you're an idiot"? If not…you should start
